This here white anthurium, folks call it peace lily. It’s a pretty thing, ain’t it? But it’s a bit picky ’bout where it sits. You see, it don’t like the cold, no sir. Gotta keep it warm, like a baby chick under a mama hen.
Now, I ain’t no fancy plant expert, but I know a thing or two from keepin’ these things alive. This peace lily temperature thing, it’s important. If it gets too cold, that pretty white flower, it’ll just droop right down. Like a sad little puppy dog. And the leaves, they get all droopy too. They wilt, that what smart folks call it. The leaves wilt when the temperature is not proper for the peace lily.
They like it warm, these lilies. Like a summer day, but not too hot. ‘Bout like when you’re sittin’ on the porch, sippin’ sweet tea. That’s the kind of warm they like. In the day time, it’s gotta be nice and toasty, like 68 to 85 degrees. And at night? A little cooler is fine, like 10 degrees less than the daytime. But if the temperature is under 60, the peace lily will be hurt.
- Keep it warm, like a summer day.
- Not too hot, not too cold.
- Daytime, ’round 68 to 85.
- Nighttime, a little cooler.
- Don’t let it get too chilly!
I heard them say these peace lilies come from them jungle places. Them hot, steamy places. So they like that kind of weather. Makes sense, don’t it? If they is from hot place, they will sure like hot temperature. It’s not hard to understand.
Now, you don’t wanna put it right by a drafty window neither. That’ll give it a chill, and then it’ll get all sad and droopy. And don’t put it right by the heater neither, that’ll dry it out. Just find a nice, cozy spot for it. Like you would for yourself, if you was a plant! These peace lily sure need care.
And don’t be puttin’ no fancy stuff on them leaves. They shine all on their own. Just wipe ’em down with a damp cloth if they get dusty. Like you would a table. No need for that shiny spray stuff. It’ll just clog ’em up. If you use a wet cloth, the leaves will be very beautiful. And the temperature should also be considered.
White anthurium, this plant is called. Pretty, ain’t it? This color, it’s like fresh snow. But some of ’em, they come in other colors too. Red, pink, all sorts. But I like the white ones best. They just look so peaceful. That’s why they call them peace lily.
If you see it startin’ to look all droopy, like it’s cryin’, that means it’s too cold. You gotta warm it up! Or maybe it’s too dry. They like a little water, but not too much. Just like us, they don’t wanna be drowned! But most time, it’s the temperature. The temperature is very important for peace lily.
I remember one time, I had one of these peace lilies, and it just wouldn’t perk up. I tried everything. Watered it, moved it around, talked to it. Nothin’ worked. Then I realized, it was right by that old window, and there was a draft comin’ in. So I moved it to a warmer spot, and wouldn’t you know it, it perked right up! It was the temperature all along!
So, you just gotta pay attention to these things. They’ll tell you what they need. Just like a baby, they’ll cry when they’re uncomfortable. And if you listen, you can figure out what’s wrong. Usually, it’s the peace lily temperature. It’s just too cold for ’em. This white anthurium is a good plant.
Now, I ain’t sayin’ you gotta be a slave to these plants. But they do need a little care. Just like anything else. If you want somethin’ pretty, you gotta take care of it. Ain’t nothin’ in this world that’s gonna stay nice without a little help. Especially for these peace lily, the temperature is the key.
And don’t go feedin’ ’em too much of that plant food neither. They don’t need much. Just a little bit, every now and then. Too much’ll just make ’em sick. Like when you eat too much pie. Feels good at first, but then you get a bellyache! So don’t feed them too much. And the temperature is important.
So there you have it. My two cents on these here white anthurium peace lily. They’re pretty things, but they need the right temperature. Keep ’em warm, but not too hot. Don’t let ’em get chilled. And listen to what they’re tellin’ ya. They’ll let you know if they’re happy or not. Just gotta pay attention. That’s all there is to it. Keep the right temperature, and your peace lily will be very happy.
